From the reviews: "The present book by Doctor Yasar Ozcan is clear and very well structured. ... This is an important text book for post-graduate students and professionals that devote their work and research on improving the efficiency of heath care services. It also provides an interesting introduction and overview on efficiency analysis, performance measurement and DEA for those graduated in Management Science, Operations Research or Applied Mathematics that are intended to follow their research work and activity on heath system issues." (Pedro Martins, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1166, 2009) "Professor Ozcan's text ... provide a valuable text for performance analysts in the health sector wanting to expand their knowledge of alternative approaches; as well as for data envelopment analysis (DEA) experts wanting to apply their skills in the health sector. ... The software provided ... was enough to understand the relatively modest examples which are used throughout the text. ... the software would be a useful tool for pursuing real-life DEA studies. Overall, this is a good text ... ." (S. Peck, Journal of the Operational Research Society, Vol. 60 (9), 2009)More details
